"City lights" de La the darkman es una canción que explora las adversidades y peligros de la vida en las calles urbanas, enfocándose en un protagonista atrapado en un ciclo de violencia y criminalidad. A lo largo de la letra, se nos presenta a un personaje que se ve inmerso en situaciones extremas, desde conspirar el asesinato de la esposa de un individuo hasta enfrentarse a tiroteos y peligros constantes.

El narrador describe a este individuo como alguien desesperado por salir adelante en medio de la pobreza y el caos del entorno urbano. A pesar de sus intentos por ganarse la vida, termina atrapado en una espiral descendente de crimen y violencia, buscando soluciones rápidas y arriesgadas que solo empeoran su situación.

La canción utiliza un lenguaje crudo y directo para resaltar la dureza de la realidad que enfrenta este personaje. Se hace alusión a conflictos con las autoridades, robos, tiroteos e incluso momentos donde se cuestiona acerca del sentido de su vida. La letra refleja el ambiente tenso y hostil en el que se desenvuelve este protagonista, marcado por una constante sensación de peligro e incertidumbre.

En términos musicales, "City lights" presenta un ritmo intenso y agresivo que acompaña perfectamente la temática violenta y sombría de la letra. La instrumentación probablemente incluya sonidos oscuros y pesados típicos del género wu-tang, contribuyendo a crear una atmósfera turbia y opresiva que complementa la narrativa descarnada plasmada en la canción.

En cuanto al contexto cultural en el que fue lanzada la canción, es importante tener en cuenta el momento social tumultuoso alrededor del hip-hop durante esa época. La música rap funcionaba como una forma de expresar las realidades brutales de la vida en los barrios marginales, sirviendo como una voz para aquellos cuyas experiencias no eran representadas en los medios tradicionales.

"City lights" destaca por su crudeza e impacto emocional al retratar las luchas diarias de quienes viven al margen de la sociedad. A través de sus versos cargados de tensión y desesperanza, La the darkman logra transmitir la angustia existencial y el fatalismo inherentes a muchas personas atrapadas en entornos urbanos difíciles.

En conclusión, "City lights" es una poderosa reflexión sobre las consecuencias devastadoras de las decisiones erróneas tomadas en contextos adversos. El protagonista enfrenta un destino trágico marcado por la violencia y el dolor, destacando las complejidades morales y psicológicas involucradas en vivir al límite dentro del paisaje urbano implacable.

(talking)

Young wild niggaz livin street life on the edge
Not knowin if tomorrow they could turn up dead.
Yo fuck regular cops niggaz get scoped by the feds.
The ghetto live in bloodshed (yo) we live in bloodshed.

I know this african cat jet black gold grill
Said we can split a half a mil if i could get his wife killed.
The feds on him jake to pull seven on patrol.
Cops shot on the stroll by his man thats on parole.
Now he haunted, had a big screen but he pawned it.
Watchin fox, saw his face on america's most wanted.
With three seeds to feed, stressed out like bricks.
So he got a fix, roll with his crackhead click.
Stay twisted, robbin young ducks for their bucks.
One day he slipped up, caught two shells to his gut.
But he recovered
To say the first shell wasnt shit.
What you workin wit?
A rusty 22 kid?
Then he flipped quick, bust back from four-fifths.
Six fire, four hit, one crushed the pelvis.
The others went through his wrist.
How's that for accurate?
The kids scarred for life.
Equipped with a permanent limp.
He was ill when he was young, tryin to raise his son.
Everytime beef come he blast the mac one-one.
Spendin two g's on gold to impress the hoes.
Got money in milwaukee with a house on the low.
He played the 5 boros, everyday fly
Thought he couldn't die.
Bags of hydro in da 5, gettin high.
He had a rep for hijackin, extortion, kidnappin.
Shootin up clubs, airport drug trafficking.
He met his match, fuck around and rob the wrong cat.
For a hundred and eighty g's the god want his cream back.
Now it's a gun battle.
But the son ain't fessin, he grabbed his wesson.
These niggaz lookin for me i'ma shoot their ass a lesson.
Going all out, kill or be killed, whats done is done.
These niggaz not stoppin me from havin my fun.
He at the tunnel, flexin his whip, rims dipped.
Had to much cavarsia so he started to slip.
Oh shit their go dem niggaz that i stuck
That black truck. give a fuck.
They want their cream, i'ma let my gat bust.
Let his shells fly, the god got hit twice he wounded.
The liquor started talkin didn't know what he was doin.
He crashed the whip, jumped out ran to sixth
Flagged a cab.
"yo take me to madison ave"
He did too much to live, and too much to turn back.
Lay bleedin, wonderin why it had to end like that.
Nobodys left, the world just me and myself.
In back the back of the cab, son bled to death.
It's fucked up he was a good


Young wild niggaz livin street life on the edge
Not knowin if tomorrow they could turn up dead.
Yo fuck regular cops niggaz get scoped by the feds.
The ghetto live in bloodshed (yo), we live in bloodshed.

Young wild niggaz livin street life on the edge
Not knowin if tomorrow they could turn up dead.
Yo fuck regular cops niggaz get scoped by the feds.
The ghetto live in bloodshed (yo), we live in bloodshed.

And we die in bloodshed, word up.
We born to the paradise so respect your life, word up.
Black man move on, word up.
Head the knotty on lock down.
Word up.
Gun rule, the bx, bk, know what i'm sayin, shaolin.
Word up, queens niggaz, word up
